One of u mentioned this eg in ur script recently, and miraculously, it appeared in today's papers...

A good rebuttal to the oft-cited claim that social media fuels narcissim and exhibitionism.....In the example of TikTok in the article, the video platforms can be used to showcase one's talents and spread passion for an activity, to inspire OTHERS (as opposed to 'ME') to take up a healthy or useful activity...in fact, it can be videos of OTHERS, not 'ME':

"I thought this would be a good platform for me to showcase other talents such as dancing and singing," said Yap, who has been acting since she was 10. "TikTok is a pure video platform... You're watching videos continuously. I thought this would be a better platform, especially for dance videos."

Another user is national taekwondo exponent Ng Ming Wei, 24, a bronze medallist at the 2015 SEA Games...I love fitness and flexibility and of course, taekwondo. I want to... share my sport with the general public," said Ng, who hopes to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. In particular, he wants to get more young people interested in taekwondo and other sports.
